Popular Post bkk6060 Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) This morning as most mornings, I usually woke up at 5 am sexually aroused. Had some fresh coffee just bought a expresso machine, its great. The caffeine actually enhances my mood. Got on the dating sites 20 year old was at my room by 6:30 am. Great time, went out for breakfast after, I came back to my room and took a short nap. Oh, the good life in Thailand!

I am the one with insomnia and I would hate it for my partner to suffer because of my problems. making 3in1 coffee is just pouring water with a satchel.. i mean does not get much easier then that. Whatever works for you just not my choice of things. Getting out of bed to make a coffee is hardly suffering. "Making 3in1 coffee is just pouring water with a satchel.. i mean does not get much easier then that." So you say robblok. But; do you put in the water and then the powder; or t'other way round? What temperature is the water; do you get it to boiling, then let it cool? Or do you put your finger in the water - on the way to boiling - to get an accurate sense of when it's perfect? Is it wise to add a pinch more of sugar or coffeemate; if using a big cup? Use the packet to stir, or a spoon?! I don't want to have to worry about this stuff. Better for me to give the wife 20 baht to make it for me, and if it tastes really good; a 10 baht tip. So; for getting up for 20 minutes in the night she has earned 30 baht. Easy money!

Your probably taking the <deleted> about the 3 in 1 coffee, because anyone not able to figure that one out must have really limited mental capabilities. As for the coffee tasting extra good.. no clue how it can differ with a 3 in 1 package. And 30 bt to wake up 3am at night.. I havent been with any woman who thought that was worth the money. IMHO there is no worse thing then having my sleep disturbed. Then again the woman I have been with usually had a job too and had to wake up on time for said job. Disturbing someone at night is who has to wake up for a job is just cruel and really selfish. So I would never do that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Stevemercer Posted June 30, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2020 Hmmm. I'm the opposite. I always have trouble getting out of bed no matter how early or late I retire the night before. I love lying quietly in bed, with just the fan ticking away, in the relative cool of the morning. The Missus is always up and away by 5:00 am. On days when I'm 'working', I'm up at 6:30 am, 15 minutes for toilet and breakfast, and I'm away. For the other 4 days of the week it's more like 8:00 am. Me, I love to sleep! I look forward to my lovely bed in the evening. When I wake up the next day I get considerable pleasure from thinking there is only 14 or 15 more hours until I can go back to bed again. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxper Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Best time of the day, as you had noted. I like being awake when it’s light. Sleeping in doesn’t do it for me. 11 PM is about bed time though unless I’m out painting the town red.555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pattaya46 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I usually wake up about 5:30, with first light of the day. Sun rise in Pattaya is just before 6am. I don't really understand people going for a run at 4am when it's still dark night?? Even worse when it is for a bike ride at 4am. Seems rather dangerous to me... I would be also curious to know at what time people go to sleep. I bet that if they wake up at 3am then they didn't go to bed at the end of the movie near midnight... ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saraburi121 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Wake up around 5am every day. Drink a bottle of water and out to the garden tend and harvest. Living in the countryside days start early for most. Being the only non-Thai in the village initially got a lot of stares working in the early am, now greetings and farming talk as much as I can understand the language. The monk from the local temple even brought me some plants to start. Not much to do in the hot of the day outside so morning is a beautiful time as are the hour naps during the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unblocktheplanet Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Honestly, I only get up by 8am. Used to be a nightbird who hated mornings but now lights out at 930. Very little & occasional caffeine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinBoy2 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 (edited) I'm a certified insomniac, only sleep 3-4 hours, at best 5 hours a night, have done all my life. Over the years I've developed the art of creeping around the house without waking wives, children up in the early morning hours. I love the early morning, it's my quiet time. Back in the day, I used to watch a lot of overnight TV which meant I ended up purchasing a lot of useless kitchen appliances and knives from infomercials. Thank God the internet appeared! It's 4am in the morning here, been awake for a few hours. Wife is snoring away in the bedroom, both the cats are passed out on the couch next to me. My wife will be asleep for a few more hours, since like most Thai women, she actually is like the cats, she lives to eat and sleep!

On the weekends (beer consumption allowing) I'll chuck the treadly in the back of the pickup and drive out to the lake and do a lap or 2.... very pleasant and not remotely dangerous at 4am. Weekdays I generally try to be in bed by 10.30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alien365 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 I'd love to be up early to see the sun rise but my body clock refuses to change. I hope it will change in the future, but at the moment if I'm up before 8:30 I've done well. My morning coffee is my main motivation to get up. Grinding my home roasted beans in the morning gets the day going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I lucky, I can sleep until 6, but many times birds are nocking at the window, or of course one of the 3 roosters keep me wake up. And yes I have earplugs against that.
